In a few days somethign new should be arriving- a SONY DUAL LAYER DWQ30A 16X DVD Burner. I would like to use this burner with iDVD 4.0.1. IF there is a new iLife version out by macworld, I'll most likely get it, but before then I have a few DVDs to burn. Therefore, the first thing I'd like to ask about is what will I need to do to use iDVD with the new burner? I assume that since this is a third party drive, that it will not be seen as a superdrive, even when plugged in.
It may work (iDVD 4 works with a large number of drives) you may need to use PatchBurn first.
Second, do I need to go through the whole 5-6 step process of encoding, etc etc when I burn a playable DVD? Could I simply copy the contents of a DVD I already burned to a blank DVD? Any machine I would use this on would be running the latest version of Tiger.
Yes, you can use DIsk Utility to make a disk image you can then burn to the other disk, or if you have two DVD drives, you can copy one to the other.
